I'm pretty excited. My wife and I are leaving this afternoon to visit our daughter, her husband and two of our grandchildren in Tucson. We are driving not flying on this trip; we both have the time (my wife has spring break next week and I have all the time in the world) and I like to go on long drives.
It is a perfect day to take off. Sunny blue sky with scattered high clouds and no rain in the forecast. I'm not sure where I get my love for taking long drives. Maybe from my childhood. My parents loved to travel and in that era flying was much more costly. We traveled quite a bit from Berkeley to Southern CA to seem my paternal grandparents and to Utah and Idaho to seem my Mom's family. Oddly enough I quite enjoyed those trips.
There's something about travel, as I noted in a previous post, that is otherworldly. I feel suspended from the present unmoored in time and space; The box has not yet been opened and anything is possible.
T minus 3 hours on the mark.
